Colleen Brown

Sr. Business Development Manager of Partner Sales for North America at Ciena

Greater Hartford

Throughout the course of my career I have always loved technology, having responsibility in many types of roles including; managed services, professional services (pre and post), and business development both as a vendor channel SE and Practice Manager. As my love for the technologies and my professional priorities changed, the core values remained constant. I have always loved working with people and making an impact on lives and giving back to the community. Whether it was speaking to elementary through high school girls part of Girl Tech in RI, environmental board membership, or changing and enhancing our customers experience through solutions and innovation. My goal is to make the world a better place for not only my children but everyone to live in one day at a time. Having various roles through out my career that have challenged me mentally and have grown me professionally and personally has truly been amazing and I wake up thankful and energized each morning to go out and be the best that I can be.
